I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I straight up did not read the premise I just liked the book title and cover and ran with it. Patiently waiting next book 

Somehow loved this more than the first one

This book had me in a chokehold from start to finish. I simply could not put it down… I’ll come back with a better review but I at least want to say it doesn’t get enough hype at all!!!

I don’t know how but it turned out to be better than Phantasma. I can’t wait to see if the next book is about Luci and Grave 🙏🙏🙏

I loved this! I thought it was emotional but healing. The characters are going through a lot but it was nice to see it all written so well.

I can confidently say that this is my favorite Ali Hazelwood book
